This past Saturday, Slinger competed in the regional wrestling tournament in Fond du Lac. Five of Slinger’s wrestlers were crowned regional champs in their respective age groups -- Cameron Tonsor-Heeson, Caleb Ziebell, Hudson Mountjoy, Adam Beine, and Logan Stegemeyer. As a team, the Owls won the regional meet for the very first time and are moving on to team sectionals this Tuesday against Kaukauna. If the Owls win that dual meet, they will advance to team state. Individually, twelve Slinger wrestlers qualified for sectionals:

Cameron Tonsor-Heeson (106)

These wrestlers will be competing in the Division I WIAA sectional meet next Saturday in Slinger. Come out and support your Owls!
